An impartial press.

Last night on the Hootsmon's comment page, a weel kent poster made a mildly sarcastic remark about my "favourite" MSP.Trying to refute this by pointing out some things I had written about him on my blog, I attempted to post my blog address.

I couldn't.

I'm reminded again of the Steamie blog, where one of David Maddox's posts that had sixteen comments disagreeing with him disappeared.

I'm not mad(heh, better make that angry!), it just made me remember why I started this blogging caper in the first place.

Bloggers have been in the dead tree press a lot lately, of course much of it negative(apart from Iran of course, their bloggers aren't criticizing the British press); what we are doing in our small individual ways are reminding them that the days of William Randolph Hearst are long over.

I posted a retort to Rufus T Fuckface a couple of nights ago. I rolled up the next morning to find the post, which contained the offensive word 'pooh' had been deleted and I was banned. It's taken me chuffing ages to get back again.

I suspect Maddox has more to do with moderation than we would think, the fact that Hamish McDonnell and George Kerevan are in the process of being humped out, leaving only Maddox to cover politics, is obviously increasing the pressure on the 'cunt' (tm) Spooks.

You've been banned old boy, Get thee to googlemail or aol and get a free email account, register it, then re-register at the hootsman. I'm up to about...forty-something identities now. Ironically, Cockhungrycumslut lasted quite a few weeks.
